A Study of NO Gamma Bands in the Mesosphere from Spacelab 1.

Abstract

The Imaging Spectrometric Observatory obtained simultaneous spatial, as well as spectral data of NO in the mesosphere during the 1983 Spacelab 1 mission. The well defined rotational lines of the 1-0 gamma band in the ultraviolet were used to infer atmospheric temperature profiles. The slant path intensity profiles exhibit higher intensities than are predicted by a recent model and are in good agreement with the NO profile obtained in the infrared during the same Spacelab 1 mission.
